Jeff Sirum recommended these tire pressures to me years ago. I've used them religiously and have never had a tire problem.   
Front:  65 PSI
Rears:  60 PSI
Opinions?

Tom,
I'm sure he said that was for cold, as when one pulls of the freeway, the
pressure can be 3-5 psi higher.

Tom,
I have been running the exact same psi's as you without any problems.
I am thinking of going 65.5 psi on the front left side to compensate for the fat driver with a very nice steering wheel!!
Scott.

I fill mine based on the weight per axle. Your numbers are exactly where mine came out. I frequently carry a 450 pound motorcycle on the rear trailer hitch. When I do, then I increase my rears to 65.
